Trad Session in the Mountain Dew on Friday 16th August, everyone is welcome to join in.
The Parish of Machaire Rois Healing Mass with the Anointing of the Sick. On Sunday 1st September at 4.00pm in the afternoon, we will have a special Mass in St. Joseph’s Church, Carrickmacross, where we will celebrate the Anointing of the Sick. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is one that is underused among our faithful. The Oil of the Sick is one of the three oils blessed by the Bishop at the Chrism Mass each Holy Thursday. This oil is distributed to every priest and parish in the diocese, along with the Oils of Chrism and Catechumens, used in Baptism and Confirmation.
The Anointing of the Sick is a very special celebration which dates back to the earliest days of the Church. For many, the Anointing of the Sick was understood as Extreme Unction, to be used only in danger of death. The Sacrament is much greater than those limited occasions and is to be used as the occasion of healing for anyone experiencing sickness or ill-health. As such we will invite all those from our faith community who wish to avail of this healing to come along on Sunday 1st September at 4.00 pm to experience the healing of Christ through this wonderful Sacrament.
We hope that those who are on the First Fridays Sick and Housebound lists will attend, anyone else who feels they could benefit from the Anointing, to come along to the celebration.
